Porsche Turbo brakes on an A6 4.2 w/ stock Sport 5-spoke wheels?
Wondering if anyone has done this upgrade. I need to know if I have to shell out for a new set of 18" or 19" wheels if I do this.

I've got big brakes and 17" A6 4.2 wheels
Everything fits just fine, it's a Porsche 993 TT rotor with a 996 TT caliper (monobloc).
I think the rotor is 332 O.D.
BTW, the standard 17" wheels on the A8 (my winter wheels) won't fit because of the offset, I really have an offset on my rotor hat that was meant for the A6. Oh well, BIRA is making design changes, I was the first one.
Gonna love them at Road America in two weeks!

Yes, it's a bolt on.....about $2400 with track pads also
It's just an awesome kit, I'm sure bira could do it no problem for the A6. Their theory is to use as many OEM parts as possible.
Go to the link, it has a bunch of pictures and story.
